A TWO-year project providing extra training for health care professionals who support cancer patients across South Cumbria has been made permanent.
The Cancer and End of Life Education Hub, which was first funded by the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, delivers free education and training on the prevention of cancer, early detection, and treatment.
The Hub is based at Royal Preston Hospital, which is the Cancer Centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria.
Karen Partington, Chief Executive at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We were delighted to confirm the new permanent status of the Hub, which provides such a vital service to ensure patients with cancer in our community and their loved ones receive the best care possible.
"As the Cancer Centre for the region, it has been our pleasure to see the incredible work carried out through education and training to equip our medical community with everything they need, and I look forward to seeing the service expand and progress in the future.”
